What are Wall Street analysts saying about EAGLE POINT CR/COM stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about EAGLE POINT CR/COM stock:

1. National Securities analysts commented, " ECC posted EPS (NII+realized gains) of $0.40/share during 3Q18, below our estimate of $0.52 given the portfolio growth was very minimal compared with our previous estimates. We note that the portfolio did not grow as much as we anticipated. Additionally, reset/refi activity was heavy during the quarter and subsequent to quarter-end.
 The company sold $15.5mm of CLO equity and $17.5mm of CLO debt during the quarter realizing $124K of realized gains. This also served to mute the growth of the portfolio at par, which increased to $817.1mm from $809.9mm Q/Q.  New CLO equity purchased on the quarter had a weighted average (WA) effective yield of 15.36% versus the WA yield on CLO equity book the quarter prior of 13.99%. It’s worth noting that ECC is conservative with yield recalibrations, in our opinion, and routinely puts effective yields down to zero when the investment is still paying cash flows to the firm but if the investment is performing below their initial expectations.  PCD (portfolio cash distributions) per share declined to $1.15 from $1.76 Q/Q largely from increased reset/refi activity. The firm had 5 resets and 1 refinance during 3Q18 and thus far in 4Q18 they have reset 3 CLOs. Thus, we think PCD/share will decrease to $1.10 for 4Q18 before we model it to jump to $1.64 in 1Q19 from a combination of spread widening and fewer resets and refinances.  The company has already done 51 resets/refinances since 1/1/17 and thus we expect far lower activity on this front going forward which would serve to boost PCD/share and taxable income materially Y/Y for 2019, as we see it.
 We are revising our 2018 EPS estimate to $1.74 from $1.86 and our 2019 EPS estimate to $1.96 from $2.23. We are maintaining our BUY rating and our $24 price target." (11/15/2018)
